Intermittent starting issues
« on: 26 March 2026, 15:25 »
Hi all,
My Mk7.5 has started playing up occasionally when starting, hot or cold. It’ll start then die and sometimes try and restart it’s self.., other times it tells me to try and start manually.. It eventually starts and is fine.
I had a stage 1 remap done about a year ago without any issues and it starts and drives great 99% of the time.
Sound familiar to anyone..?
Thanks for any pointers.. 🍻

Is stop / start on or off?
How’s battery health?
